I do not know where it would be in the 95, I am thinking in the trunk? I have a 93 hatch an it is under a rubber gromet in the hatch near the driver side tail light . If the relay is in the up position (little red button) then just push it back down.

I don't know if this will help you or not, but on my 04 GT it's under the kick panel of the passenger side right up where they would put their feet. kinda between that panel and the glove box under the dash, but mine is an 04.

It's Maaco, and they're no less competant than the next shop. They do offer a cheap-*** paint job for people who don't want to spend the money, and because it's cheap, people mock it. Family friends of mine own the Maaco in Lacey and they'll do a good job if you pay what you would at a normal shop. Just don't expect much when they're prepping and painting your car for $200.

You won't catch my stang in a Maaco but in my own paint booth.... But I'm not going to knock it cause I know it's cheap but Ive never seen any work from any Maaco.... But I was going to get into a franchise deal with a buddy for a Maaco here.... figured with all the cheap aces here it'd go over good.. never know

I worked for the friends at their Maaco one summer doing driving and detailing. They do a surprising amount of business with used car lots, and even new dealerships for lot damage. Got a brown camaro sitting on the lot that won't sell? Give it a 200 red paint job and it'll be sold in a week.
True fact.
Anyway, I've seen some real crap come out of their shop, but it's because that's what the customer was willing to pay for. I've also seen some nice stuff done. Some asian dude spent about $6k I think on his old GTO and it came out absolutely gorgeous. A used car lot brought in a 65 Mustang and specifically requested that no body work be done, then they were pissed when we painted right over the rust. I mean come on.
